Strong signal

[iloveiphone2011]

It mayby the placebo effect or what i dunno. But has anyone noticed the signal on theirs? Around my house the signal would periodically drop down to a bar or so (on previous iP4). but Today i haven't noticed it drop below 4 bars. I remember reading somewhere about the 2 antennas on the 4S? So presume this fixes the death grip issues and gives it a better signal pull?

Thoughts?

That is EXACTLY the theory. I plan to test the heck out of it this afternoon.

I really hope it improves signal at my work as i regularly use internet facebook etc to pass the time, but signal is poor and usually get 'no service' so fingers crossed. If this is the case this alone justifys the upgrade from iP4. HAPPY.

I'm loving my new 4s but regret to report weak signal everywhere around the house. I have only seen 2 bars max in any room of my house as of yet. Having said that I haven't noticed any lag or insufficient operating speeds. I did a speed test.net at 2bars and came up with about 4 Mb/s dl and .9ul wll try again when I get more bars

My IP4S gets 3X better signal than my Fascinate. With my Fascinate, I RARELY had more than 1 or 2 bars just about anywhere. NOW I have 4 bars quite often! There used to be a "dead" spot on this one road on my way to work and now there is no dead spot!

I have to report the 2 antennas do nothing for me at work where my evo was so bad I could not even receive incoming calls. I know its sprint but I was really hoping somehow my iphone would have a better signal.

your location and carrier afects your signal in different ways, did you change carriers? did you have better signal before in those spots? do you still able to call? that's the importance on the new double antenna.

i remember reading that the 4s mostly gets one more bar then the 4. being in the same location and same service. tested on ATT

That is what my testing has shown so far on Verizon and applying the death grip properly.
